Ms. Lunsford Honors Chemistry 12/6/2011 Abstract Yeast is widely used for making bread‚ beer‚ and wine. People all over the world drink and eat those products. This projects looks at which fruit juice with a higher percentage of sugar will produce more fermentation. The original purpose of this experiment was to determine the amount of fermentation of 3 different fruit juices after adding a certain amount of yeast. By measuring the type of fruit juice (independent variable) the amount

Testing Catalase Activity Prepared by Anel Behric For professor Goodrow General Biology Lab Mohawk Valley Community College 10/14/2014 6:00 PM Introduction: This experiment was conducted to examine the breakdown of substrate hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) by catalase‚ which is a specific enzyme that breaks down substrates of (H2O2). Molecules are in our bodies and nature. They move around constantly which causes them to be part of random collisions‚

dilutions of yeast cell suspension on the number of yeast cells per cm3 that counted using haemocytometer under microscope. Aim To investigate the effect of the different dilutions of yeast cell suspension on the number of yeast cells per cm3 that counted using haemocytometer under microscope. Research Question Do the different dilutions of yeast cell suspension affect the number of yeast cells per cm3 that counted using haemocytometer under the microscope? Introduction “The typical yeast cell

independent variable in this investigation is the varying concentrations of the substrate (Hydrogen Peroxide: 1%‚ 3%‚ 5% and 6%)The dependent variable was the rate of enzyme catalase activity‚ which was measured by the volume of froth produced after one minute.The concentration and volume of liver extract (source of catalase) used was kept constant at 10ml per solution. This factor was kept constant‚ as the concentration of the enzyme affects the rate of reaction; higher enzyme concentrations increase

EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE ON THE RATE OF CATALASE REACTION IN HYDROGEN PEROXIDE INTRODUCTION Enzymes function similarly to a lock a key mechanism where only one specific key will work (U and Fischer‚ 1994). An enzyme is a macromolecule that acts to increase the rate of either a substrate breaking down into two or more products‚ or where two substrates join up to form one product (Dundon‚ 2018). These enzymes perform this by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur under normal

Everyone has yeast in the body‚ but it is required in minimal quantities. However due to various reasons like lifestyle change‚ medications‚ foods we eat‚ and type of clothing that we use‚ you find many people struggling with yeast infections. It is also referred to as Candida. Women are the most hit though a few men too finds themselves in this mess. But have you realized that apart from the doctor’s medications there are natural ways one can end this menace? Try this homemade easy‚ and natural

On the Kelvin scale‚ 0 degrees is absolute zero‚ the coldest possible temperature. Absolute zero is equal to -273.15 °C or -459.67 °F) A. How does the change in temperature affect the speed of the molecules? __If the temperature is colder the molecules move slower and if the temperature is hotter the molecules move faster.

What are the actors (e.g.‚ what parts of the organism are in conflict) and what are they in conflict over? The 2 μm plasmid of Saccharomyces yeast is in conflict with the cell host‚ this plasmid cost the host through using the cells’ resources ; meaning a burden on the host to synthesize more proteins as well as increasing the amount of DNA the host cells needs to accommodate.

More specifically‚ the enzyme catalase and its substrate hydrogen peroxide were tested under different temperatures. It was discovered that‚ temperature can affect the optimum operation of enzymes; The enzyme catalase has an optimum operation condition (in this case it would be a specific temperature) in

they collide into one another‚ allowing chemical reactions to occur. Factors such as temperature and concentrations can either help increase or decrease these reactions. (Jubenville.) Enzymes are known as catalyst because they are able to speed up reaction rates without being destroyed or altered. They are able to encourage chemical reactions by decreasing the energy of activation. The main function of enzyme catalase is to convert hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in our bodies into oxygen and water.
